WHEREFORE, premises considered, the appealed decision
should be, as it is hereby REVERSED. Consequently, the
respondents are directed to reinstate complainant Nestor
Malabanan to his former position as production scheduler, with
full backwages from the time he was illegally terminated up to
actual reinstatement, without loss of seniority rights and
benefits appurtenant thereto.
SO ORDERED. (pp. 23-27, Rollo)

reconsideration was denied.
The two issues to be resolved in the instant case are: (1) whether or

labor practice; and (2) whether or not a just and valid cause exists for
the dismissal of private respondent Malabanan.
